Unfortunately people like you would oppose doing the right thing and giving them a basic income and the ability to live with dignity. Give them 25k per year and the ability to access public housing and the programs needed to get them on their feet and many of these problems would go away. Instead people like you want to lock them up to the tune of 120 k per year which makes no sense at all financially.

lmao wow. All I can say is wow. You think giving drug addicts 25k a year is going to help them? They'll just buy more drugs. People like you just don't understand the problem properly - Blissfully ignorant. These are hardcore drug addicts. They need help in the form of forced treatment, nothing else. No one is suggesting locking them up. But forcing them into rehabilitation, yes. It's called involuntary admission, and it is a thing whether you want to admit it or not.
I suggest you read up on the Mental Health Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. M.7, which explicitly states that people who are not in their mental right mind can be forced to admit to a treatment facility, without being released until such a time that a physician determines that they are well enough. It's called a Form 3 (Ontario - Involuntary Admission).
